Stem Split X2! YIKES!

littlenuggetstarted grow question 3 years ago
I have two partially split stems. It looks to me like the plant is already healing itself, but I've never encountered this before so I'm not sure if I should be supporting the split area, or just letting her be? I don't want it to get worse...

It will be fine, now that it has dried out and has started healing itself, there is no point trying to stick them back together, which only works if done right after the injury occurring. Keep it dry and there will be no problems, if you cover it with tape/ties etc this can lead to moisture where it shouldn't be and then this can then lead to fungus and/or mould attacking. Best thing is to leave it and keep it dry. I have had plants with split stems 8 inches long and fall into two parts and just left them and they were fine. You can support the branches so the split does not get worse, but now that it has dried out, don't close it up, this is likely to cause more damage than just leaving it be. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Use a zap strap to bind it together. It will heal faster make it less likely for pathogens to get in the stalk.

Erstmal keine Panik. Bringe die beiden Seiten durch weichen Bindedraht oder Folie wieder so dicht wie möglich zusammen. Den linken Ast ,oder besser beide würde ich zusätzlich stützen, also durch einen Stab. Aber schön vorsichtig 😅 Geb ihr 2 Wochen ruhe und sie sollte sich erholen. Genau dieses Problem hatte ich mit meiner fetten Banane, mittlerweile hat sie sich bestens erholt 😃👌
